Start from the God of Death and break through the world.

Chapter 1059 Unparalleled
Lu Li's words pierced the hearts of the Omni-King and the High Priest like a blade. The Omni-King, who had been cut in half at the waist, cried out in pain, tears of blood streaming from his eyes.

"No...no, I don't want this pain! It hurts so much, it hurts so much!"

The Omni-King cried out loudly, revealing that beneath the cloak of power, he was nothing more than a mentally unstable child.

Lu Li looked at the Omni-King without any pity. He dodged the attacks of several Grand Priests in a flash, and at the same time punched the void, annihilating the power of elimination that the Omni-King had sent down on him.

The entire process was incredibly smooth, as if Lu Li already knew how the Grand Priest would make his move and how the Omni-King's power would descend.

He weaved through the encirclement of numerous high priests, and continued walking towards the Omni-King who had been cut in half at the waist. This terrified the Omni-King, who retreated repeatedly, crying out in pain and begging the high priests to save him.

The high priest in charge of assisting the Omni-King was also sweating profusely, his eyes filled with shock and anger. He couldn't imagine how much power Lu Li would need to cleave the hard Omni-King in two with a single strike.

He never expected that the Omni-King, who wields such immense power, is someone even he, the creator, has to be wary of and appease. Who would have thought that the Omni-King is actually just a brat who deserves a beating, and that he can be made to obey with a little discipline.

Lu Li only slashed the Omni-King a few times, making him fear pain. At this point, the Omni-King dared not attack Lu Li again, even though his authority and power were still intact.

"Lord Omni-King, don't be afraid. I will help you eliminate the pain. We just need to kill this guy, and you will no longer suffer from pain!"

The High Priest shouted encouragement to the Omni-King, and at the same time used the laws of time to rewind, allowing the Omni-King's body to be pieced back together.

However, even after their bodies merged, the Omni-King remained timid and hesitant to attack Lu Li. On the other hand, the other Omni-Kings who were unharmed were furious and were all attacking Lu Li with all their might.

brush--

However, just as the High Priest finished speaking, Lu Li unleashed a powerful slash, shattering the void and reversing time and space. Many High Priests were cleaved in two by this single strike, and even many High Priests who were coming from afar to besiege Lu Li had to avoid its sharp edge.

After the passage was opened, Lu Li rushed forward at lightning speed and slashed at the Omni-King with another slash, cutting him in half diagonally from his left shoulder.

The pain returned; even though he had just been healed, the King cried out in agony again.

Prolonged pain can sometimes numb you, and when you are in a healthy state, a sudden onset of pain will feel even more intense.

That's how it was for the Omni-King. He had just been healed and hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath before Lu Li cleaved him in two again. This repeated torment of pain filled him with fear, and he had forgotten that he still possessed considerable power to eliminate obstacles and could use it against Lu Li at close range.

He just kept screaming in pain incoherently, and even started begging for mercy, "Please... don't... don't cut me anymore, it hurts so much, it hurts so much!"

Lu Li's expression was indifferent as he looked down at the Omni-King, who was writhing in pain in the void. "Does it hurt? But compared to the damage you've caused to other living beings, it's not even a fraction of what you've done."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to the left and caught the high priest's fist that was about to strike him.

Lu Li tilted his head slightly, "Now that things have come to this, you don't actually think your Ultra Instinct is still the strongest in the universe, do you?"

The High Priest's eyes were filled with astonishment. He knew that he wasn't the only one attacking Lu Li at this time; the Omni-Kings on the periphery had been using the power of retrospection to eliminate Lu Li.

Theoretically speaking, Lu Li has to contend with the elimination power of hundreds or even thousands of Omni-Kings every single second.

Given this alone, Lu Li should have been overwhelmed, but he not only stood there unharmed, but also strolled leisurely through the attacks of the many 'high priests'.

At this moment, he casually accepted the attack without even retreating.

What's terrifying is that he felt Lu Li's current strength was not greater than his own, yet Lu Li was able to do these things. Didn't that mean that Lu Li had also surpassed him in combat skills?

In a split second, Lu Li grabbed the High Priest's fist and pulled his arm, causing the High Priest to lose his balance as he turned to the side.

At the same time, another high priest who was attacking Lu Li punched the high priest controlled by Lu Li directly in the face.

The instant the impact occurred, Lu Li released the first high priest's hand and simultaneously kicked the third high priest who had ambushed him with a side kick. The force was so great that it even caused the high priest's chest to cave in.

His speed far exceeded the speed of light, and among the spectators in the distance, only Remus, Daoyan, and Tianhuang could barely make out the details of the battle.

When they saw Lu Li effortlessly maneuvering amidst the onslaught of thousands of high priests, even using their attacks to make them fight amongst themselves, they were all utterly astonished and gaped in disbelief.

"No way! Didn't the High Priest have perfect Ultra Instinct?! How did he get weaker?!"

Tianhuang was puzzled, because he had fought the High Priest before and knew how difficult the High Priest was to deal with.

Normally, the High Priest has no weaknesses in battle. It is only by cooperating with Tianyan and Luli and relying on the power of the Heavenly Dao Spirit Seed that they can occasionally create some weaknesses for Luli and the others to attack.

Now that Lu Li doesn't have the Heavenly Dao Seed to help him, how exactly did he so easily dodge all the High Priests' attacks and strike their weaknesses?

"No...it's not that the High Priest has become weaker."

Dao Yan's expression was serious. "The High Priest's Ultra Instinct is still perfect. At least it hasn't changed since the time he fought us. However, there is no such thing as a technique without any flaws in this world. It's just that we lack the ability to find flaws."

"What do you mean?"

Tianhuang scratched his head and said that, in his opinion, the High Priest was being punched and kicked by Lu Li from all sides and was even slashed from time to time. This was completely different from the High Priest they had previously imagined.

"It's very simple, Brother Prisoner has... reached a completely new level."

Dao Yan sighed, "His combat skills have completely surpassed those of the High Priest. Moreover, his ability to perform at this level is certainly not just a matter of combat expertise. He probably also possesses terrifying talent in related areas."

At this moment, many of the high priests in the arena also noticed something was wrong and began to get agitated.

They initially thought that too many of them joining the attack made things chaotic and prevented them from fully utilizing their strength.

But the High Priest quickly realized that wasn't the case. Every High Priest was actually fighting seriously, but their moves seemed to be anticipated before they were even unleashed. While their actions were also almost thoughtless, Lu Li's judgment in battle was far more refined and possessed a greater foresight.

At this time, there were many high priests, and there were more variables in the chaotic battle, which made it easier for Lu Li to find some of the high priests' weaknesses.

But how exactly did they manage to do that? In less than twenty years!

Even if Lu Li went to a place called the Spiritual Time Chamber to cultivate, at most it would only be a little over seven thousand years. How could Lu Li have become this strong?!
"Impossible!? Is it an illusion!?"

One of the high priests shouted, his eyes filled with disbelief, because he had been cut in half at the waist by Lu Li, who had broken through the encirclement. The extreme violence of the blow had entered his body. He was not as resilient as the Omni-King, and with just one strike, he was almost on the verge of death.

So the high priest shouted and flew backward, using the power of the laws to repair his body. If he didn't repair it in time, the power transmitted from Lu Li's purplish-black blade would kill him in the next moment.

brush--

However, Lu Li was faster. He dodged the attacks of the two high priests like a dragon, and then with a single stroke, he beheaded the high priest who had been cut in half at the waist.

The moment his head flew through the starry sky, the universe seemed to fall silent for a moment. This was the first time the High Priest had died in battle, and Lu Li had only struck him twice.

Compared to the situation back then where it took a long and arduous battle to win, this is a world of difference.

Lu Li brandished his sword, the tip hovering as it aimed at the face of a high priest who had charged in from the flank. This forced the high priest to instinctively halt his charge and attack.

"Illusion? Are you afraid to accept the bloody reality?"

Lu Li's voice was calm and steady, yet it instilled a sense of unease and panic in many of the high priests. The Omni-King who had initially been repeatedly wounded by Lu Li was beginning to sow discord among the other Omni-Kings.

Because the Omni-Kings discovered that their power to eliminate Lu Li was ineffective, while the wounded Omni-King proclaimed just how terrifying Lu Li was.

Then something ridiculous happened. In one timeline, the Omni-King seemed to get tired of listening and felt that the wounded Omni-King's incessant chatter was not in line with the dignity of an Omni-King and was a disgrace to them.

So the Omni-King directly attacked, using his power to eliminate the wounded Omni-King.

As He began to act, more Omni-Kings joined in. In an instant, the combined power of multiple Omni-Kings caused the wounded Omni-King to vanish.

"Lord Omni-King, now is not the time to be angry. We must prioritize gathering our forces to deal with Lu Li, otherwise..."

A high priest tried to persuade his Omni-King, but the rest was a bit difficult to say because he felt that Lu Li was becoming too monstrous.

Let alone fighting one-on-one, even if a group of high priests attacked Lu Li at this moment, they would not be able to kill him.

It seems that the key to killing Lu Li lies with the Omni-Kings. The Grand Priest believes that as long as the Omni-Kings swarm in and directly use their power-eliminating abilities on Lu Li in close combat, they can kill him outright.

The High Priest was, after all, a true ninth-order being, and his eyesight was not bad. He could see that Lu Li seemed to have mastered the ability to counter the Omni-King's remote elimination power and could use his martial arts soul intent to fight against the upcoming elimination law in the void.

The bad thing is that although he is such a person, he is also a martial arts expert. He knows the nature of the soul intent ability that Lu Li has mastered. That kind of power that comes from the heart is almost inexhaustible as long as the state is right.

Therefore, there is no such thing as exhausting Lu Li's soul intent and then having the Omni-Kings stand in the safe zone to completely eliminate Lu Li.

The high priests admitted that they had been careless. If they hadn't been so reckless at a certain point in time, and had directly killed Lu Li and the others when they learned of their plan to rebel and liberate the Dragon God, they wouldn't be in this mess today.

As he watched Lu Li dashing left and right among the high priests, his sword flashing and falling with the grace of a startled swan, yet seemingly invincible, he felt a chill run down his spine.

The spectators will never understand as much as he himself did. His Free and Easy Ultimate Skill had not faltered at all; it was Lu Li who was too unconventional, and it seemed that his opponent had reached the ultimate level of martial arts.

Upon entering this universe, the High Priest immediately used his abilities to gather information about it. He knew that the beings still alive in the twelve universes all called Lu Li the Martial Saint.

At this moment, Lu Li truly deserved this title. His martial arts skills had already transcended the ordinary and reached a higher level, achieving a realm unprecedented in this world.

"The Great Way".

Dao Yan, who was watching the battle, uttered two words, his gaze fixed intently on Lu Li, "His several close-combat specialization abilities have already reached the Great Dao level..."

"Holy crap, is this for real?"

Tianhuang couldn't help but swear, "Are you kidding me? Combat expertise at the Saint Transformation level is rare even in the late and peak stages of the eighth rank. Even ninth-rank experts don't have that many combat skills at the peak of the Saint Transformation level. That's why the High Priest is so difficult to deal with. You're saying that this Prisoner Demon has already reached the Great Dao level!?"

"I'm not entirely sure, but the High Priest's combat expertise is at the peak of the Saint Transformation level. I tested that with my skills before. Now, Lu Li's power is erupting, and his attributes are only similar to those of the High Priest, yet he completely suppresses a group of High Priests. This is something that the Spirit Seed mechanism simply cannot do."

Dao Yan explained, "Therefore, I can only conclude that Lu Li has already reached another realm, which is truly outrageous."

Even someone as composed and aloof as Dao Yan could only describe it as outrageous, which gives you an idea of ​​how unsettled he must have been.

This is normal, because he has a lot of spatial intelligence, so he knows how difficult it is to improve specialized abilities.

Sometimes, lucky players in this space can even get Saint-level scrolls as rewards, which they can sell if they don't want them.

However, putting aside the drawbacks of obtaining the corresponding specialization level through scrolls, the highest specialization rank that can be improved in this way is only the Saint Transformation level.

Moreover, it is said that a long time ago, there were no specialization scrolls at the Saint Transformation level in the space, so people who could master Saint Transformation level specializations at the eighth level were extremely rare.

As for the higher-level Dao-level specializations, there is absolutely no external force that can help you reach them. You can only hone them little by little. Even if you use inheritance crystals to improve your specialization level, you can only reach the peak of the Saint Transformation level at most.
